In this Tobacco Booster Edition Manning's live mer chants and other business houses extend to you through their advertisements a cordial invitation to bring your tobacco to the Manning market and to buy your supplies for the family and for the farm at Manning. Manning stores keep most everything you can think of and they are always ready and anxious to perform real service for you in the matter of advising you in regards to. chosing, etc, Regarding particularly the matter of styles, in these times of progressive merchandising it is just as easy and a great deal more advantageous to deal with the ier chants in your own section, viz. in wManning as it is to dg busiess with bigger houses in far away cities. Manning merchants are keeping abreast of the times, and their one main idea is to satisfy the wants of the people of this section, and to give them the utmost in the way of value for the most moderate prices. "Buy at home" is an old motto that you have often heard at one time or another but it is a mighty good one to adopt, nevertheless. When you deal with Manning merchants, you know personally the men who are selling you, you can see the goods before buying and you are assured therefore of having the entire deal closed to your satisfaction. Remember too, that Manning merchants expect to sell you not once, but time and again and it is to their interests as well as your own to have you come back again, and too, to have you pleased at any cost. Manning's merchants are good men to know, and they are always glad to see you and to serve you. The clerks in Manning stores are courteous and anxious to please, and taking everything into consideration you can't de better than buy in Manning.

It is the logical central market place for this section and be sides there are many other business advantages that Man nmg possesses as a marketing center that you cannot afford to overlook. Dozens of tobacco farmers who have tried out Man ning's market in competition with other markets have found out the truth-that the prices paid in Manning are right in line with the biggest markets in the state. And they have concluded that Manning is the place tc bring their tobacco to dispose of it quickly and to the best advantage and now go to no other market. Ever since the reopening of the tobacco industry Manning has been the gathering place daily for farmers of Clarendon county through the entire season. As the facilities and advantages of this market have increased more farmers have seen the benefits to be derived from visiting the Man ning warehouses and hence the city now draws farmers from many sections of surrounding counties. This present tobacco harvesting season which opens officially on next July 12th bids fair to eclipse any former season both as to the amount of tobacco marketed and the prices p aid for the weed. Already the biggest firms have their buyers in readiness to proceed to the Manning market, and bidding is gping to be interesting and lively. The more tobacco brought to market the more interest and the livlier the bidding will be. That is why your cooperation will count and co.unt to a great extent. Every load of tobacco you bring to this market helps your neigh bor, yourself and every other farmer who has any sales to make.

COTHRAN WRIT[S IN TO THE PO1 The Manning tobacco market is one of the very best markets in Eastern South Carolina. It was estab'lished about twenty-one or two years ago by Mr. E. L. Wilkins. Manning all these years has been hampering in her growth as a tobacco market, due to the fact that the prin cipal amount of tobacco to sustain the market has been grown about twenty miles away. The territory from which we have largely sold to bacco for these years has been twenty miles away. This territory to which we largely owe our existence is what is known as the Salem, Pudding Swamp and Duglass section. This section of Clarendon county is one among the very best tobacco sections in the eastern part of our state. This was one of the first sections in South Carolina to grow bright tobacco. This section has possibly done more to foster and encourage tobacco' grow ing than any other county in the state. It has been from this noted section as I have already stated that we have drawn our part of the pat ronage that has sustained our market through these years of slow growth. Of course we have been getting some tobacco from South of us and quite a good deal from what is known as the Folk section of our county, but in the main it has come from Salem. This section is what is known among tobacco men as "no man's land." This has been between the firing lines, so to speak. Manning has met and done battle with many alien foes in the shape of competitors, only to be driven out by Manning's sharp sword of competition, yielded by their tobacco warehousemen and their staff of high classed fighters for best prices. Manning has always been fortunate in this respect. We have been blessed in having a full corps of experienced buyers. The section referred to, Salem, has nmuch to its credit for fos tering and keeping before the new territories that have recently gone into tobacco, the fact that tobacco culture in Clarendon county has been a paying crop. Salem has stuck to it and kept it from becoming latent as it were. Today we have a small quantity of tobacco cultivated north and west of Manning. We have been getting right much tobacco in a small way from the south side for a number of years. This is increasing some every year. Clarendon county has an ex cellent soil for growing bright to bacco all the way from the Folk sec tion to the sunny slopes of Santee river. We find tobacco that is grown in the Folk section or in any other section down to the very banks of the Santee river an excellent quality and well suited to the trade. We are anxious that more tobacco be planted in these new sections. We extend to you all a hearty welcome to the new industry. Come down and see our sales. Meet our farmer/ friends and talk over with them hot to grow to bacco successfully. Yoij can thus be conmc acquaintedl with tP.,a new indlus try. Fall in line and make sonme early money. The tobacco grower of this county has the advantage of the exclusive cotton farmier. lHe makes money going andl coming and gets it early to help him gather his other crop at a time of year when one dol1 lar is worth two later on. Come to our warehouses and look at our sales and get yourself lined up to culti vate four or five acres another year. WVe wvill only be too glad to help you out with any information that y.ou may want. WVe have seen something of our history and gradual growvth which has been slowv andl sure, until today we are better. prep~ared1 to handle and care for tobacco than any time in our past history. We have built andi are still building prizeries for our buyers to prize and handle their tobacco in. We wvill have more floor spac'e and better accommodations for the trade than ever before. We want every man that grows t obacco continuous to Manning to sell his tobacco in Man ning. Manning is the capitol tobacco market in Eastern South Carolina. We claim this title because wve have meritedl it by our standard of high prices for every load of tobacco sold on our floors. We have the proud 1distinction of leading our sister mar Come t( 1[[STINGLY A4D IT ABOUT MANNING MARKET kets in average for several years. We have always been as good as the best market in the State and frequently better. Sell your tobacco in Manning and help build up your own county seat.

When you have short crops they suffer with you, they renew your accounts as best they can, and at the same time have to meet their obliga tions with their creditors either by renewals of notes or borrow from our liberal banks and pay their accounts. Manning was hard hit two years ago with the cyclone, but with the grit and get up of her citizens she threw off the yoke of caos and has .emerged from what was at that time seeming ruin into a beautiful town second to none to its size in South Carolina. We have some of the prettiest dry goods and grocery stores to be found anywhere. We have more and better drug stores to the size of our town than you will find anywhere else, to the size of the town.
